Electrical distribution system for the Cantera Península Community (Santa Elena and Condadito Final sectors)

Abstract

The primary objective of this project is improving the quality of life of the Peninsula de Cantera residents. Our collaboration in this improvement deals with infrastructure, specifically with the electric power service. For this project, we followed the proposed goals of the Integral Development Plan for the Cantera Peninsula community. Our design and study covers the area of electric power distribution, which embodies all the equipment beginning at the point of connection to a primary feeder (13,200 volts) and ending at the customers’ service points. To minimize costs, whenever possible, we used existing equipment. This work has been divided into three main phases: -Analysis of the actual conditions of the existing electrical distribution system. -Short term recommendations. -Design of a new distribution system for long term implementation.
